Any new pictures?

190 after my workout now , now if I can only get that weight first thing in the morning in the birthday suit

Yea, I got a few crappy webcam pictures, I've got a digicam too now, so once I figure out how to use that, I'll have some better, bigger, clearer pictures coming along.

Some new update pics attached (took these about a 1-2 weeks ago, so i was already in the 180+ range)

190 before a workout, 192 after a workout :o

3800 cals/day isn't doing me too good anymore, I've slowed down, unfortuntaely I figured this would have been the last phase of my bulk, looks like I'll be bumping the cals up to 4100~....
these 2 lbs took me forever to gain, and I'm surprised I did, my diet has been crap this pass weekend (skipping meals and such).

I'm going to shoot for 200, see if I can hit that by the end of April, then start up my cut.

First attempt at using 90lb for DB Presses today, I think I got about 4 reps, but 2 were assisted, man those were heavy, but I'm sure I can hit that, I just wasn't focused enough to do it today.

New numbers are now 191/193

I honestly don't know how many cals I'm eating anymore, definitley over 3800, because I'm using my old diet plan as the baseline and I'll add more to it as I go along...I personally think I'll hit 200 before I cut.

looking good. Whereabouts you at in TO?

well I'm actually training in Hamilton right now (University), but I live in Oakville...where abouts you from?

Hmm, I'll occasionally be putting down my lifts, so I can compare them with future and such.

Today's weight: 192/194.6 lbs

Current lifts:
Squats - Unknown.....185x8 after supersetting 200x8 leg extensions.
CG Bench Press - 200 x 6
Bench Press - 185 x 7 after 3 sets of Heavy Inclines....
Incline - 75 x 5
Flat DB Press - 90 x 4 (form is still iffy)

EZ BB Curl - 37.5ps x 6 (shooting for 40ps next power week)
BB Row - 175 x 5

Leg Ext - 250 x 8

I'll post lifts up occasionally just for my own comparison, I like to see how I progress

Bolton

Ah, I actually have no idea where that is? How far are you from toronto?

Anyways, I just wanted to post this for my own future reference:
Power/Rep Range/Shock: The Basics

Looks like I won't be hitting my goal of 200....
Funds are tight for me, and I'm out of supplements. I'll be going about 4 days on a crappy diet, barely pushing enough cals. I've had to substitue protein for carbs for these 4 days.

Highest I hit was just over 197 on the scale a week ago, i'm down to 195~196 ish now. I'll get some whey this weekend, but no use tryign to keep bulking, I start up a 1 week cut next week, then I"ll bulk for a week, then cut and maybe one last bulk before i cut.

Final Bulking PIC - 195~197
(Had hat hair, but wasn't wearing a hat, so I had to photoshop one in there lol)
